Today we went to homearama to tour the latest in home building. I enjoy looking through the houses. This one was called the yoga house and had cork floors.

This weekend we got to do some tidying up around the house. I ordered these shelves on sale at CB2 and enjoyed organizing our books on them.

We also have this ladder bookshelf from Target. I really enjoy arranging books on shelves. Wonder if I should have been a librarian.

Memorial Day weekend we started our basement improvement project. We are starting with replacing the basement windows with glass block windows.

We only got two replaced but hey, they look great!

Tina, Shruti and I went on the Downtown Tour the Landmark Society held this weekend. I got to see inside several spots that I have wondered about for years.

One of the coolest parts was the tour of the lofts at Station 55. We had fun picturing how we would decorate them.

It is high time I wrote about our completed kitchen tile project. We actually finished it a couple months ago, but my kitchen hasn't been tidy enough to take "finished" pictures. Hah!

I was so sick of our old lineoleum floor... it had little nicks and cuts and I just couldn't get the spot where Oscar comes in from the backyard clean. We picked these brown tiles and chose a dove grey grout to match. It really wasn't too much work to lay down the tile. We did it in a weekend. We bought a tile cutter for less than $100 and it was so worth it. Aaron did the cutting and laying while I pretty much handed him tiles and kept the four legged critters out of the kitchen. You can see more pictures of the process on my Project Gallery.

Oscar and Stewie approve of the new tile floor.

While we had everything pulled out of the kitchen we painted it a nice butter yellow. I like how it looks next to our Tiffany blue foyer. Mmmm butter.

Today we went to Homearama. There were only 5 houses instead of the usual 10 and they were smaller, but I still saw some neat stuff...

I loved the floor of this walk in shower. It is made up of lots of little pebbles.

One house was decorated in an Italian theme. I loved this table in the kitchen set up as though someones grandma had been making Sunday dinner.

This was the best kid's room... decorated all in a Monopoly theme! So cool.

This was such a nice room. The jars on the shelves all have sand in them with labels like "Nantucket", "Cape Cod" and other beaches. A beach collection!

I took lots of pictures...  you can see more of Homearama in my Gallery.

We decided to tile our kitchen floor this weekend. As we were tearing up the kitchen we thought "Hey, let's paint!".

One trip to the paint store later and we have a gallon of "Butter Up" to match our new brown ceramic tile. This is how home projects go for us.

We will be living with our stove and fridge in the dining room for awhile.
